THQ's traditional RPG, Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage shipped today, a gift to long-suffering N64 owners who have seen very few RPGs released for their system. Aidyn Chronicles is hailed as the first traditional RPG for the Nintendo 64, and features a strong storyline following the search of Alaron, a young boy, for his heritage. The game boasts a cast of 12 other characters who can join Alaron on his quest, each with a wide variety of skills. The game features a turn-based combat system which has a heavily tactical influence, and there is a wide array of items, spells, and equipment to choose from.

Aidyn Chronicles shipped today and should be available in stores by the end of the week. For more in-depth information on the game, check out RPGamer's coverage, as well as the
